Hey,
I think Ned is operating out of the UK. You can contact him via his ebay auctions.

Really? I thought Ned left Triode a while ago. It's still his company?

Not surprising to hear, I guess.No reason a company should not answer reasonable questions about their products and sales policies. Trying to get into contact with them these days has been like walking face first into a brick wall.

Triode Elec. used to be within walking distance of me. Ned sold the business at one point, but remained on for some time until he quit some time later. There were several guys working there by the time it moved down the street on Roscoe, then to the old TV shop on Irving Park, then to the western suburbs. As usual with small specialty vendors like Triode, something like a health problem or even a vehicle in the shop can disrupt business. At the 2nd place on Roscoe they once had a few feet of water in the basement after a heavy rain and they could'nt get at a lot of stuff which was up on shelves! Hopefully they will recover, they have always been very helpful and had good prices. Ned is a living encyclopedia concerning all things vacuum tube.

Bought ten or more Dynaco replacement transformers plus other stuff over the years between 2001-2009.
Never had any issue, shipped fast.

We do. Built from the original factory blueprints. My shop is about two blocks away from the company that built Dyna's transformers.

I grew up in Bucks County - Doylestown.
Went to Drexel 1978-82
yes... philly... in the Kensington section of the city. Near Kensington & Allegheny Aves.Dynaco and Acrosound of course were Philly bred companies. Acrosound was in the Manayunk section of Philly. Dyna originally was in West Philly, then moved to 30th and Jefferson and then to Blackwood, NJ.
Dyna's transformer maker was from the Kensington section of the city. At the SW corner of E Allegheny Ave and Emerald Streets. My house is two blocks south of this location at E. Clementine and Emerald (sw corner). My shop is two blocks north and east of the old transformer facility.
Originally (back in the fifties) the name of the transformer company was Tresco, then G&G Tresco and finally Technitrol. Technitrol continued to build Dyna transformers into the eighties after Stereo Cost Cutters in Ohio bought out the remaining stocks and etc from a previous Dynaco buyer (ESS by memory)...
in the mid-ninties Technitrol sold off all of their winding equipment and I bought all of the Dynaco vacuum tube related transformer designs from them.

"I grew up in Bucks County"
Cool! I spent about half my life in NE PA. Passed the General Amateur Radio exam at the FCC office in Philly when I was 14. That was just a few years ago... :)

Yes, in those days I got responses from them, too. But, in more recent times, they have been unresponsive.
Can't blame them for that I guess.
I called about 6 months ago, trying to get support documentation of the older triode boards. Got a polite young lady, however it was pretty evident that tubes were obsolete way before she was born, and was pretty clueless about my inquiries. I asked if there was anyone I could talk to about a couple of simple technical questions, and was told there wasn't anyone available. I asked her if Uncle Ned was still there. She didn't know who I was talking about. At that point I figured that any further inquiries would be fruitless.
